Deyo's ambient harvesting Pat.The Harmonic Energy Exchange Device (or “HEED”)

Reason1st:
Thanks - nice quotes from the patent.
If the capacitor can be tuned to match the frequency with which the coil resonates with incoming "cosmic rays", we effectively have an optimized resonant series L-C circuit, which seems to produce some interesting effects. 

To take this a step further, consider the metal plate and ground as the positive and negative terminals, respectively. 
When we consider the cap's AC output, do we not, in effect, with this arrangement have the makings of a kind of push-pull circuit?

That application is never going to become a real patent.  Apart from offering nothing new  in it, its very well known already that the fairweather field - a direct measure of the ionosphere to electric earth field does not show oscillations in the MHz range. Its actually quite stable. Not only that, but the real charge between the ionosphere and the earth is kept there by lightning strikes, and not at all by cosmic or solar radiation. All the radiation does is to keep the ionosphere conductive, without lightning the earth would be at the same potential as the ionosphere due to the slight conductivity of air. So whether or not those MHz he's talking about exist up there has nothing to do with the expansion of the ionosphere to earth distance as it would be very easy to detect and would actually be a rather massive signal.

Pomodoro,
Don't you think this talk about ionosphere is a kind of vague smokescreen for something much simpler? We know that patents usually hide their secrets. Could it be that this setup is actually for gathering ambient electrostatic energy?  We know that the higher up we go with the plate, the greater potential difference between the plate and earth. But what if the secret of the patent is actually in the combination of the variable capacitor in series with the inductor?  The plate  and ground are going to play their positive and negative roles as the LC circuit goes into series resonance, for a parallel discharge.

You are putting Effect Before Cause. Next you'll be telling us that the polar Auroras (another electric discharge phenomena) produce the magnetic field that corrals them towards the poles. Or that the Auroras produce the solar wind which pours billions of ionized (charged) particles and high energy photons into the upper atmosphere, after they've managed to slip their way into the earths protective magnetic field.

Well if it didn't this would be a dead planet like Pluto. Even Tesla knew the bull shit the aristocracy from Oxford University came out with was a disgrace and an insult to the truth............
